592 Nate Schmit May 30, 2024

Show notes

After a series of injuries as a college athlete, Nate began to explore the transformative power of bodywork. He trained in neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, and dynamic movement at Health Works Institute in Montana, and later as a paramedic and firefighter in Los Angeles County.

Nate intuitively discovered the benefits of a keto/anti-inflammatory diet, through which he lost not only 80 pounds, but the pain he had been in for years. Now, Nate is on a mission to change others' lives as well—with an anti-inflammatory diet being key to incredible results. Through his background as an athlete, bodywork specialist, paramedic, and firefighter, Nate is able to empathize with clients in order to treat the root of the problem, providing freedom from pain and immediate improvements in performance. His healing and high performance superfood creations ensure that the client's body maintains optimized results—without sacrificing taste.

An Active Release Technique® (ART) specialist and Whole Body Level 2-Certified, Nate has worked as a personal bodywork specialist for some of the country's most elite professional athletes and performers, including Alex Rodriguez, the St. Louis Blues, the Kings, and the casts of Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, and Rent.

587 John Collinson- World's best big mountain free-skier Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

An accomplished mountaineer, Johnny Collinson is rightfully recognized as one of the world's very best big-mountain freeskiers.

In the summers, he and his family – including older sister, Angel, also a pro skier – would climb peaks all over the west, with Johnny summiting Mount Rainier at age 4 and soon knocking off other iconic peaks like Mount Whitney, Mount Hood and Mount Shasta. By age 17, he became the youngest person in the world to climb the Seven Summits, the highest peak on all seven continents, including the world's tallest, Mount Everest.

But he's not just an accomplished mountaineer. Johnny is also one of the world's top big-mountain freeskiers and was a Junior Freeskiing Tour champion at the age of 17, before going on to compete on the Freeride World Tour.
